Chicago preparing for snow removal

November 30, 2010

Mayor Richard Daley might not be running for re-election, but he says that will have no bearing on how his administration prepares for snow removal this winter.

The city will continue with efforts to hold down the overtime paid to snow plow drivers, and to use sensors on trucks and red light cameras to better control how much salt trucks are dumping on the streets during snowfalls, Daley told reporters today at his annual news conference to mark the beginning of city overnight winter parking restrictions.
